Victoria is a great place to start exploring Vancouver Island. There are frequent, excellent whale watching and sightseeing trips to the San Juan islands from the city, a fantastic museum and some excellent hotels. The famous West Coast Trail is close by - a decent drive that is. There are mountains to explore on the island and old forests, but beware of clearcuts which can be depressing. Parts of the island are awesome including, Clayoquot Sound, Tofino, Ucluelet, Long Beach National Park. There is a large population of cougar on the island and a good few bears. Orcas live in and migrate through the waters around the island, and you can regularly see grey whales from Tofino. Humpbacks migrate past here too. Most people have never heard of Vancouver Island unless they like to cut down trees, which is a shame because you could spend a month here and be stimulated every day. Our own personal favourite is secluded Gabriola Island where you can sit on the rocky beach, listen to the sea lions on Station Island and gaze at the snowcapped mountains that run almost the entire horizon. Awesome.

Some info about the rest of the island and some mountains, but nothing on Victoria.
